Confessions Of A Swaggernaut

Will Romine writes for Bleeding Cool from SDCC:
My name is Will Romine and I have a problem. I am a swaggernaut and I need help.

It all started at my first Comic Con. I saw the sights, pressed flesh with creators old and new, and received a buttload of free stuff. I had always heard legends of people who were able to fund their San Diego trip by reselling swag. Out of curiosity, I listed a LOST pencil on eBay. Within minutes, a buyer paid the buy it now price of $5.00.

The next year, I saved all of my swag and sold it, covering a good chunk of my trip. The year after, I dipped into buying and selling exclusive action figures. By my third year, I sold enough to break even. This year, I lost control. Pictured below is not even half of the exclusives I have bought up.

I was one of the brave fools who lined up at 4 in the morning to get the hasbro exclusives, including the massive 4 foot helicarrier. I jockeyed my way through the Mattel online preorders. I even paid a guy to buy stuff for me to exceed my purchase limits.

Now I have to get all this crap back to the east coast. My name is Will Romine, I have a problem. Any solutions?
